#HR1 empowers elites who don’t answer directly to the voters.
House Judiciary GOP - twatter ^ | January 29, 2019 | House Judicary GOP

Ranking Member Doug Collins: I’m confident every lawmaker in this room agrees that our democracy depends on protecting voting rights and election integrity. Congress has the authority to prohibit discriminatory treatment in voting based on race or ethnicity as part of its duty to ensure the sanctity of every vote. Unfortunately, this bill actively undermines these goals. The bill before us today federalizes elections in ways that have nothing to do with outlawing discrimination. Instead, it federalizes elections in ways that actually disenfranchise state voters. H.R. 1 would deprive state voters of their own right to determine their state’s voting qualifications, district lines and means of guarding against ballot fraud.

If it includes a thumb print with each vote cast, the same way I have to provide one for a driver’s license, I could support it. But I’m sure this bill is all about not verifying legal voters. That’s not the democrat way.

Text of HR 1

It's the Democrats' wet dream. Internet registration. Automatic registration. Prohibition of any legal action against an illegal alien who is registered to vote

It's a big bill. If passed, forget about any Republican ever winning an election again.
